[xubuntu-users] Mounting windows partitions with the LiveCD

[Andrew Kane]

      Similarly, I put a second hard disk in my machine after the
install and it didn't auto-mount nor show up in /etc/fstab. I had
gparted installed and I used it to find the disk (it was attached at
/dev/sdb even though it, and all my devices, are IDE) so I was able to
mount it manually. It's kind of a drag, though, and I consider myself
lucky that I know how to do it from old Slackware days :)
